A few months ago, I made a couple fused coral or lace sconces. These “layered” fused glass sconces are a bit different, yet similar. I love this technique and think about make more. They look great with or without a candle behind them. I also put a little iridized in […]
I love making custom glass with photos on them. I’ve written numerous posts about the Photo Glass pieces I’ve made; I print the pictures and then bake them onto the glass. I’ve wanted to make this for momma this piece for about 3 years now. My mom is turning 85 […]
There are several funny parts to this story about these fused glass pieces. First I made a dish years ago and used it as a napkin holder. And I loved it so much that I gave it to Sky for her new apartment. Below are pictures of it, in it’s […]
Sometimes when I make a fused glass art piece it just needs a little something extra. Whether it’s a bowl that doesn’t have a flat bottom. (I talked about this earlier this month.) Adding a base really makes the difference. In addition to adding a removable base for bowls vase […]
I’ve mentioned Coral many times in my posts. Coral runs Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs. She is the person who taught me fused glass and I am forever grateful for the knowledge she has shared with me over the years. I’ve known Coral for 15 years, she is a good […]
In addition to the fused glass snaps, ornaments, night lights, candle shields, etc., I made this month I also made a variety of other fused glass pieces that I want to show off. First up is this awesome sconce. When I was doing the freeze and fuse last month I […]
I’m so ready for spring. We just had a crazy blizzard. So much snow. Here are a few fused glass pieces, showing I’m so ready for spring. These four fused glass spring tiles can be either night lights, sun-catchers, or candle shields (picture on the right) This is another fused […]
I’m asked occasionally do you hate selling your fused glass. The answer is yes sometimes I do. A few years ago I had a really difficult time selling my fused glass wolf sconce. I thought it was a beautiful, and it made me sad to sell it. […]
In April of 2017 I did an entire newsletter on Creative Paradise’s molds. I love their creative paradise’s texture molds. I used some different colors in my fused glass mantle sconces. This first one is iridized white, lady in the woods. She’s beautiful and she looks amazing with the light […]
This month I am focusing on a class I took with Patty Gray. I really enjoyed the class and one of my favor fused glass techniques she taught us is what I like to refer to as windows. When my son was around 16 he was in an AP […]
My fused glass mantle sconces are very popular so I thought I’d make some that are a little simpler and smaller. They are both made with special textured glass. I also sandblasted the back of each candle shield. They come with a small candle and light up any space! The […]
I love fused glass and one of the things I enjoy about glass is you can make it into so many things. One of my favorite techniques is called kiln carving or bas relief. One way to do that is to put the glass on a textured mold and it […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about adding colored decals to fused glass. My friend also wanted some sepia choices. So I made her a sepia fused glass night light and magnet. The nice thing about custom sepia decals is that they are fused on so they can be […]
This weekend I was able to try something I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time, Painting on glass. This paint is different than normal fused glass painting, it is pebeo paint. It goes on after all the fusing is complete and then baked in an oven to set […]
